This format can be targeted to focus smaller groups and also be specified to address either only doctoral students or postdocs. All four webinars should be visited as a series. Please tell us your demands.
One of the most important skills scientists need next to subject related expertise is the ability to realistically plan and organize their research in the long term – and to effectively structure every single workday. In this webinar series you are invited to re-think your current behavior and to consider well-proven powerful techniques. Highly interactive online format.

Methods
Interactive webinars with trainer-input, partner- and small-group exercises. You will reflect your own behaviour and discuss topics in the plenum. Between the webinars you will work on small tasks (workload up to 2 hrs). You will work with a buddy to mutually support each other during your six weeks “test phase” after the webinars. This helps you following through your desired behavioural changes.
Exemplary Evaluation
Former Participants say
A game-changer for me
[...] this class encourages you to take an honest look at your work habits, reflect on your goals, and ultimately help you be more efficient (and staying sane).
A game-changer for me has been to structure my workday according to my biorhythm. I used to feel guilty for not being as productive in the middle of the day and usually tried to force myself to work, which really wasn’t efficient and just led to more feelings of guilt. Matthias’ reminder that it’s natural to have different energy levels throughout the day, but that we should work with them instead against them, made me restructure my day [...]
Matthias is incredibly enthusiastic about his work and also talked about his own experiences and struggles, which [...] made the experience more personal and relatable. [...]
The class was super helpful for me, not necessarily because I learned lots of new things I hadn’t heard about before, but it was Matthias’ way of communicating that encouraged me to reflect and then be consistent in using the tools that I found most helpful.
Geballte Zeit für Denkanstöße
Der Tag hat 24 Stunden, daran können wir nichts ändern… Aber die Art und Weise, wie wir diese Zeit nutzen liegt sehr wohl in unserer Hand! Irgendwo zwischen exzessivem Büffeln und Prokrastination liegt die Balance, wie Studenten erfolgreich durch ihr Studium gehen und [...] die Zeit dabei auch genießen können.
Das Seminar von Matthias bietet eine geballte Zeit für Denkanstöße um ebendiese Balance zu finden [...]
Matthias ist die Person, die dir zeigt, was du alles für deine Reise brauchst und dir hilft deinen Rucksack zu packen!
Er erklärt auf eine sehr inspirierende und ermutigende Art bildliche Analogien und Metaphern, die im Gedächtnis bleiben und dich auf deinem Weg begleiten.
[...] Die wichtigsten Lektionen, die ich [...] mitnehme, sind die Kraft der Meditation und die Kontrolle über den inneren Zustand. Schon kurz nach dem Seminar habe ich gelernte Techniken in meinen Alltag integriert und möchte es nicht mehr missen morgens auf meine Tagesliste zu schauen und den Frosch zu bezwingen! 😉
